Castello dell'Oscano

Ten metres separates the fourteenth century neo-gothic Castello dell'Oscano from an historic villa, both of which are nestled amid 250 acres of natural woodland seven kilometres from Perugia. Antique furnishings and classic decoration combine in the 32 guestrooms, which feature cable television, minibars and complimentary Internet access. All overlook the park or valley below. Connoisseurs enjoy a daily-changing menu influenced by fresh local produce, as well as wine tasting and cookery classes provided by the chefs. Onsite recreation includes swimming in the outdoor pool, basketball, fishing, and mountain biking. A helicopter pad allows for sightseeing tours from the air, while a hotel minibus provides a mode of transport to and from the olive picking fields and horse riding school - both of which can be booked onsite. Room service operates 24 hours per day. Guests arriving by car find complimentary parking, while the hotel can arrange transportation for those without their own vehicles. The nearest airport is Perugia Sant Egidio, 20 kilometres or 20 minutes drive away.
